Bikepacking Argentina: The Patagonia Express ( SEE THE WORLD episode 34)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 18 ต.ค. 2019
- 34th episode of biking from Alaska to Argentina and around the world. This one takes place right after the snow and cold of episode 33, Winter Road. The plan was to get to Argentina where I heard there is less rain and snow and try to find the old Patagonian Express, a train track through the Pampa where the steam train might still pass every now and then.

Thank you for these everlasting moments.
He can't read this message
@@poetaenlaluna but people can. and if you're trying to be funny I hope you can't read them soon either. IYKWIM
@@Advaitamanta I'm dead serious. You know what's funny? Addressing messages to a dead person who can't read them in hopes alive people will read them and think you're a good person, that's being a hypocryte. Like you for example, you wish me death, but I bet you'll write beautifully about death's person just so others read it and think good of you, but you're not a good person
Ride in peace, Iohan. Your videoes truly stands out. Love.
Sad to think when the last view of Iohan's video, this one or any of his others, will be viewed. 5 years, 20 years, 50 years? Then what... He helped me through some tough times and I'll be forever grateful. When will I watch for the last time? Rest peacefully Iohan...
As I grow older each year (73) and the body parts become less functional I watch each one of your videos and they inspire me to continue to push though the adversity of age and get out and bikepack on of course a much smaller scale. As I ride in Nevada, Death Valley and Utah on the routes you have taken I often think to myself, Iohan has been here and now so am I, wow! Your videos are like a drug.
How are you now?
Keep on riding dude, rest in peace 🤗
No one has beaten you on distance, hardship, endurance, photography, will, cinematography, etc., you are the world's number one on this level of bike traveling! I think IohanBikingTheWorld would be the more catchy name for your channel. Love you man!
Did you knıw that he took his life?
I'm finding you after you passed. I just got my first bike in over a decade and am inspired by you to start bike packing! Hope your adventure is continuing and you have found some peace.
What I love about this style of touring is that it’s all about engaging with the locals, wildlife and not racing through a beautiful place. Very brave to face this adversity, eg how many people have flown over the Darien Gap. Also seeing him make friends with dogs is really cute
Díganme que no es real. Tus videos me inspiraron para hacer un viaje en bicicleta de casi 2.000 kms. Hoy me entero de tu partida tan joven querido Iohan. QEPD
Thank you all for joining the premiere, the video is available normally now.
meanwhile if you are looking for some of the episodes that arent available, bikewanderer.com/video has links to all on the side (except 27)!
Thank You Iohan !!!
I like ur travel vlogs tooo much love u from Pakistan
Muy lindo video! Te veo desde Buenos Aires Argentina. Saludos!
You’re awesome dude. Saw your vlogs a year ago and just now thought of you again. Your vlogs only got better. Right on dude.
Sadly I could not attempt the premiere but enjoyed watching it as VoD like all your other videos!
I was wondering if you ever thought of a dirt suit like this one for example:
www.dirtlej.com/dirtsuit-core-edition
Shipping would be no problem I guess.
I would really like to hear your thoughts about these suits because I can't remember you mentioning anything alike in your videos.
Me: an hour, really?!
Also me (after watching): just an hour, really?!
this man is amazing!!! I miss him and every time I watch I cry. so sad
No comprendía por qué alguien entraba a tu canal y le daba a "No me gusta" y después de darle muchas vueltas acabo de entenderlo. A mi tampoco me gusta... ¡¡¡¡Falta demasiado para un nuevo vídeo!!!!
Gracias por esos paisajes e imágenes sublimes. Por compartir tu afecto con los animales. Por darnos la oportunidad de sentir la naturaleza virgen a través de ti. Por hacernos creer en la humanidad. ¿Sabes lo que he pensado cuando he visto a esos caballos corriendo en libertad? Que tú eres uno de ellos, salvaje, libre, con una fuerza física y mental indestructible. Gracias.
Que lindas palabras.eres buena gente.
Él falleció 😢
such luck that I come across this channel deserves 1M subs.
We will miss you my friend. Very much. RIP
Iohan, we really enjoyed your film. You have a film makers sensibility and skill. We cycle tour too and know what it feels like to be in the moment on long and intense days, your film's emphasise the aesthetic experience and still beauty of Nature. How you do this is down to you and how you want to convey your experience through your film. This is not cycle touring it is more than that you are artistically presenting the World and our place in it with humility,warmth,endurance and resilience.
Your films are a soulful vision of your inner being...
These films deserve a cinema presentation.
I agree with you.
I wholeheartedly agree as well Michael. I have followed Iohan for years now and I am always amazed at the quality of filming, editing, and artistic style he represents. I can't believe that National Geographic or some other organisation hasn't picked him up.
@Iohan Gueorguiev Your adventures over my home country Argentina made me travel in time. When I was 19yo I took "La Trochita" train from El Maiten to Esquel and today I am 45yo man. Patagonia has a special place in my heart: Starting 2017 till 2019 I went back 3 times for 3-6 months, hitchhiking, camping, living in the middle of nowhere and being content with what I could carry on my back. I hope that your overall experience in Argentina was positive and fruitful. Hugs and peace. Alex. PS: I recognized the crossing of the lake into the other side to enter the camp site (Camping Ecufue): Parque Nacional Lanin using an old rusty bell to call the local man and boat the crossing.
We will always miss you, RIP
Fantastic video Iohan, I've watched every one and enjoyed them all. You are amazing and I often think about what you are doing and where you are. Stay safe and thanks for the amazing footage of your adventures.
An incredible video as always! This is the best bike travel/adventure series I've seen. The visuals, music, narrative, and little personal moments with people and animals on the road all come together to create something truly beautiful. Thank you for sharing, and all the best on your adventures to come!
Agree with every word! 💙
I agree with every word as well - truly beautiful
Such a privilige to watch the creation of a lucky mix of a man with the character and temperament to do these trips and the skills and artistic talent to bring them to us in such fantastic videos.
Thankyou for all your effort.
truly amazing that we get to see all these places that you never see or will ever. I never would have thought that there is so much remoteness in South America.
Ih! Iohan. I'm also from Canada,I was born in Argentina and soon will follow on yours steps. I'm retired and will go back to my old country. I'm 69, survived cancer. So I'll be happy if I died going up a mountain. thank you for your inspiration, and it won' t be your fault if I succumb
Horacio está hablando enserio? Saludos desde Argentina
tengo 8 años y cuando sea mayor hare bikepacking. muchas gracias Iohan. me llamo Irene
Thank you 🙏 for taking me with you from the beginning, and thank you for playing Victor Jara , the Mountain 🏔 one of the greatest in South America, be safe , greetings from Uruguay 🇺🇾
I was looking in the Dictionary for the meaning of perseverance. And it pointed me here......
chaseme81871 Beautiful perseverance.
I love that!! So true!
Wonderful comment!
Iohan, you have a masterful way to present your photography on the bikewanderer.com. But your videos, oh the the way you tell the story and present the videography is Oscar worthy. I do so enjoy and look forward to them. Travel safe lad and hurry back with another.
Yep! The barren splendor of Patagonia , mixt with smashing good music! So long mate!
Impressive high-quality work Iohan, thanks for checking in.
Forgot to mention: Excellent choice of music!
My heart aches to feel that free.
1030pm: no way will I watch an hour-long video.
1130pm: that was amazing!!! Give me more
I guess that's how it is perceived by many.
It seems long but once you start you can't stop. It so good what Iohann does. There should be a way to let more people know.
I do not know how you managed to cross this immense land of snow and ice where it is very cold, it is almost impossible to resist this cold especially at night. well done you are a superman👍🙏🙏
Gracias por dejar ver la Querida Patagonia Argentina.
IOHAN WE MISS YOU GLAD TO SEE YOUR ADVENTURE KEEPS GOING .HUGS MY BROTHER

THANKS for showing the mechanical issues and solutions with the bike!
You don't stress out too much.
